World Market Center and MGM Grand Hotel & Casino announced that they are offering Summer Las Vegas Market attendees the chance to win big. Buyers at the Summer 2007 Las Vegas Market can register to win an exclusive prize package to be a VIP guest at MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, redeemable in conjunction with the Winter 2008 Las Vegas Market (taking place January 28-February 1, 2008). The prize package includes a three-night stay for two in deluxe suite accommodations at MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, dinner for two at one of MGM’s signature restaurants (Craftsteak, Fiamma, SeaBlue, Pearl, Shibuya or Nobhill) and two VIP seat tickets to KA. Featuring an international cast of 80 artists, the Cirque du Soleil show KA combines acrobatic performances, martial arts, puppetry, multimedia and pyrotechnics. To register for the prize package, buyers must swipe their Las Vegas Market Expo Card (included with their market badge) at a designated area at the Sands Expo, between July 31 and August 3, 2007 during Summer Market hours. The prize registration area will also serve as the advance housing desk for attendees who want to book rooms for the January 2008 Market. MGM Grand will be the location of Las Vegas Market’s temporary exhibits and the headquarter hotel for the January 2008 Market. “Sands Expo is a must-attend venue during the Summer Market featuring more than 700 exhibiting companies, and getting there is easy via the market’s free M-line shuttles. During a buyer’s visit to the Sands Expo, we encourage them to register to win a true Las Vegas experience through this fabulous prize package,” said Dana Andrew, Director of Marketing & Public Relations for World Market Center, adding that the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino giveaway is another traffic driver to the temporary venue. Also featured at the Sands Expo, attendees can enjoy a grand opening celebration for the temporary exhibits, on Tuesday evening starting at 5 p.m. The “Viva la Venetian Festival” will transform The Sands venue into the sights and sounds of Venice complete with music, costumed performers and Italian cuisine. On Wednesday, August 1, all attendees visiting the Sands will receive a box lunch, compliments of World Market Center. The Sands Expo, adjacent to and adjoining the Venetian Hotel and minutes from the permanent showrooms at World Market Center, will feature eight distinctly branded show sections including: Furniture; Design & Living, featuring Living Green, an area for sustainable furniture; Home Collection; Light; Sleep; Vegas Accessory & Gift; Interior Lifestyle and Resource.
